Question

Examples of behavioral adaptations and structural adaptation

Answer 1

A structural adaptation involves some part of an animal's body, such as the size or shape of the teeth, the animal's body covering, or the way the animal moves.

• Teeth - since different animals eat different things, they don't all have the same kind of teeth
  
• Body coverings - Hair, scales, spines, and feathers grow from the skin. All of these parts help animals survive in their environments.
• Movement - animals find food by moving from place to place
• Examples such as bill on a bird or the fur on a bear.

Behavior adaptations include activities that help an animal survive. Behavior adaptations can be learned or instinctive. (a behavior an animal is born with).

• Social behavior - some animals live by themselves, while other live in groups.
• Behavior for protection - An animal's behavior sometimes helps to protect the animal. For instance the opossum plays dead. A rabbit freezes when it thinks it has been seen.
• Migration is maain example of behavioral adaptations.
